A team led by Prof. Donald Ingber from the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University, Boston, has worked with the group of Dr. Kevin Kit Parker from the Harvard Stem Cell Institute. Together they have published two articles in which they present a human-on-a-chip consisting of 10 organs. The model is suitable for better and faster drug testing.

The European Commission supports the introduction of individualized computer models and simulations for the development and evaluation of drugs and medical devices.

Forbes recently published an article "The future of Clinical Trials? Here is a simulation model of the heart" that presents the great results achieved by the Living Heart Project towards the development of an extensive computer simulation model of the human heart that can then be used to test different types of devices and medications and train people how to do different procedures.

In a project funded by the PETA International Science Consortium Ltd., scientists from the Institute of Biochemistry, Biotechnology and Bioinformatics at the Technical University of Braunschweig, Germany, as well as from the British National Institute for Biological Standards and Control (NIBSC), have developed human antibodies that neutralize the diphtheria toxin.
